PRODUCE MORE FOODSTUFFS.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER. Yes, it is of the utmost importance to the Empire just now. Upon this may (and probably will) turn the whole outcome of the war. Foreseeing this many months ago, we had the pleasure and privilege of offering a donation of One Hundred Guineas’ worth of Cooper’s famous seeds (mostly grown by us in N.Z.) for use to increase the supplies of fresh vegetables and cool salads for “our boys” in England, France, and (or) by French peasant to help to resow their torn and bleeding country. A little help is better than a lot of pity. The Hon. the Minister for Defence, Sir James Allen, kindly wrote us under date December 1, 1916, saying: ‘‘l am very grateful indeed to you and shall be only too pleased to accept your generous offer.” We deemed it a privilege to bo able to help. The seeds were forwarded the next week, and now thousands of* packets of Cooper’s <‘Seeds of Success” are being sown m France and England. Now, to come nearer "home.” It is time for us to prepare the ground for the coming spring. Dig it up and allow the earth to sweeten. Make up your mind now what you are to sow, and that you intend to have one of the very best little gardens about this year; write for our catalogue. It will save your money and improve your own health as well as that, of your family. You’ll want the seeds of the strongest germination and the finest quality, so that you must be sure to insist upon having COOPER’S SEED S ‘ ‘THE SEEDS OF SU C - CESS.” Practically all the loading seedsmen, merchants, and stores in N.Z. stock them.—F.
